Definitions

  • the invention relates to a settling tank that is used at least temporarily to separate an at least two-phase suspension, in particular to separate sewage sludge as a mixture of the solids of the cleaning biomass and purified clear water as a fluid, with a total volume flow Q IN flowing into the settling tank through at least one inlet opening corresponding to that Shape and * arrangement flows in, the total volume flow Q IN composed of the sum of at least two partial flows Q C and Q P. and the light phase freed from the heavy phase flows out of the settling tank with the partial flow Q C and with the partial flow Q P .
  • the invention also relates to a method for guiding partial flows in the inflow area of such settling tanks by checking the shape, size and/or arrangement of the inlet opening.
  • Such settling tanks are used worldwide in biological purification stages of sewage treatment plants, for example as preliminary, intermediate and secondary clarifiers.
  • the solid is separated from a partial flow Q C of a suspension flowing in with the total flow Q IN and discharged from the settling tank again in concentrated form in the partial flow Q R .
  • the efficiency of this separation of the solids from the partial flow Q C plays a decisive role in the overall success of the wastewater treatment.
  • the pamphlet EP 1 864 707 A1 describes an inlet system for sedimentation basins.
  • the inlet system comprises an inlet device with a movable flap, which is mounted on the front in front of an inlet opening so that it can pivot about a horizontal axis of rotation in the direction of the sedimentation basin.
  • the height of the flap is fixed.
  • the inlet device adjusts the cross-sectional area of an opening between the inlet opening and flap through which the inflow flows to an increasing inflow without external energy. If the axis of rotation of the flap is above the inlet opening, then at low load the volume flow flowing out of the inlet device flows predominantly in the direction between three o'clock and six o'clock in clock face coordinates. With increasing load, the volume flow increasingly flows in the direction of three o'clock.
  • the pamphlet JP S56 163705A refers to the flocculation of finely suspended or colloidal solid particles in wastewater by adding a coagulant to the wastewater. Coagulant and waste water are mixed together in a coagulation tank. The mixture flows into a flocculation tank, in the lower part of which coagulated flakes settle. A moveable flap between the coagulation tank and the flocculation tank allows the cross-sectional area of the passage between the coagulation tank to be adjusted andflocculation tanks to different wastewater inflow rates.
  • the pamphlet U.S.A. 4,722,800 refers to a separation tank for oil-water separation. A baffle plate is positioned in the separation tank and faces upward and toward an inlet through which an oil-water mixture is fed. The baffle decouples a separator section of the separation tank from inlet turbulence, improving the separation of solids and any immiscible liquids that separate in the gravitational field.
  • QR is often mechanically limited both at the minimum and at the maximum.
  • the return volume flow Q R can be much higher than the clear water discharge Q C in times of low load and therefore Q R /Q C >> 1.0 applies.
  • the negative consequence of this is that from the total volume flow Q IN , depending on the outflow direction from the inlet opening, a much larger partial volume flow Q int >> Q C is routed through the tank than the part Q C that is required to be routed through the tank for the process.
  • the volume flow Q IN Q C + Q R flows out of the intake structure through the inlet opening into the settling tank.
  • the design of the inlet opening can be divided into two main variants: a predominantly vertical or a predominantly horizontal outflow direction.
  • Each flow-through surface is defined by its non-flow-through boundaries that delimit it.
  • a surface through which flow can flow horizontally therefore has at least one boundary that is arranged higher and one boundary that is arranged lower, and a surface through which flow can flow vertically has at least two boundaries that are located at the same or at least a similar altitude.
  • a substantially vertical direction of inflow is particularly common in Anglo-American countries and, for example, in U.S. 4 22 28 79 A described.
  • a substantially horizontal outflow direction is often used in Europe and is, for example, in EP 1 607 127 B1 described.
  • the two variants have in common that parts of the devices, such. B. "Stilling well” and “deflector baffle” in the US publication or, for example, “Eintragsrohr”, “Rohrring” and “Ringplatte” in the European publication together form a space that is flown through before the suspension flows through the inlet opening into enters the space where the settling process takes place. This space or the device that results from it forms the so-called intake structure of the settling tank.
  • the intake structure has several tasks. The two most important are the targeted destruction (“dissipation”) of the kinetic energy of the inflowing volume flow necessary for transporting the suspension to the intake structure on the one hand and on the other hand ensuring that the suspension flows as uniformly and evenly distributed as possible onto the intake opening - i.e. to the interface between the intake structure and settling room.
  • the area of the settling basin in which the settling processes take place is to be defined as the settling space. This is the space that is in the horizontal direction next to or around the intake structure.
  • the interior of the intake structure, the space below the structures of the intake structure and the space in the so-called sludge funnel do not belong to the settling area of the settling basin, the space below the intake structure and the space of the sludge funnel belong neither to the intake structure nor to the settling area.
  • the geometric design of the intake structure and the intake opening itself as well as flow-enhancing factors are also important - and attachments such as perforated plates, deflection devices, screens and slats in the focus of the design.
  • an intake structure is a separate, large-volume structure that cannot be compared to a pipe.
  • the inflow into a secondary clarifier is generally highly turbulent with a Reynolds number Re » 500.
  • the turbulent kinetic energy thus introduced has the negative property of destabilizing flows for settling tanks, densely stratified flows in particular at their phase boundary, which is called the sludge level in secondary clarifiers.
  • the consequence of the turbulent destabilization of the sludge level is that fine suspensions are whirled into the clear water and are subsequently discharged with the volume flow Q C .
  • the ones in the drop-off room introduced, destabilizing turbulent kinetic energy increases with increasing volume flow. Therefore, every partial volume flow that is unnecessarily conducted through the settling tank leads to the avoidable release of fine suspensions at the phase boundary.
  • the EP 1 607 127 B1 has the task of minimizing both the energy input of buoyancy energy E b and the pressure component E P and finally the kinetic energy flow E k .
  • the technology described thus ensures that the minimum energy flow E k , which is unavoidable even in the case of energetic optimization, is not introduced at an angle or even vertically into the thickened suspension, where it whirls up parts of the already separated solids again, particularly in phases of high load, i.e. high Q C , and thus would resuspend.
  • Such a resuspension would have the disadvantage of significantly increasing the pelvic load internally, especially in the case of a high external load Q C .
  • these cymbals still do not work optimally, especially with a small Q IN . In some situations, their separation performance is still unsatisfactory in relation to the space available to them for this purpose.
  • the effluent values of the lighter phase to be clarified occur at a small Q C in a size that can be further reduced.
  • the prior art with vertical introduction of Q IN into the settling tank has the obvious disadvantage that, as described, the unavoidable inlet energy whirls up solids that have already settled, and thus significantly increases the load on the settling tank due to resuspension.
  • the tailings pond fails at vertical exit of the inflowing suspension from the intake structure with increasing Q C significantly earlier, i.e. with significantly lower absolute Q C -loads than with horizontal exit.
  • the disadvantage of introducing the inflow current vertically arises in the prior art in particular at high loads with a large Q C .
  • the invention which solves the technical problem, is based on the knowledge that at low loads the outflowing from the intake structure Flow rate not as in EP 1 607 127 B1 described may be discharged deeply and largely horizontally into the basin, but that at least a sufficiently large partial flow Q i must be discharged from the intake structure largely vertically or even counter to the conventional horizontal inflow direction. If the main direction of inflow for largely horizontal outflow is in the direction of two to four o'clock in clock face coordinates, at low loads at least a part of the inflow that has a negative effect on the main flow should be in the direction of about five o'clock to nine o'clock, in extreme cases up to about left toward eleven o'clock.
  • the at least one inlet opening is also located deep in the basin, particularly at low loads.
  • the entire or at least the larger part of the total volume flow Q IN should then be directed as far as possible horizontally, i.e. in the direction of two to four o'clock, in order not to immerse too deeply into the pool and whirl up sludge that has already settled, but also not too much to climb high and thus flow into the clear water.
  • the advantages of the largely vertical outflow from the intake structure are achieved in a basin in which the intake opening is located near the depression for sucking off the sludge, the so-called sludge hopper, if the inflow volume flow is directed in sufficient quantity to the sludge hopper or even straight into this one.
  • the advantages of being largely vertical Outflow is then achieved when the inflowing volume flow is first introduced directly onto the floor and between this and a structure limiting the flow upwards into the space below the inlet structure.
  • the different steering of the volume flow at different loads can be achieved either by positioning the edges of the inlet opening relative to one another in such a way that the differently oriented inflow directions result from differently oriented inlet openings, or by allowing parts of the volume flow or the entire volume flow to flow through several inlet openings that can be opened or at least partially closed can be routed out of the inlet structure temporarily and, depending on the load, on a predominantly horizontal or predominantly vertical route.
  • any avoidable, destabilizing impulse change in the area of the inlet can be prevented at the same time as the load-dependent change in direction.
  • a load-dependent optimum for the alignment of the inflowing stream results from the varying orientation of the inlet opening caused by changing the relative arrangement of the upper edge and lower edge of the inlet opening or from a varying division of the total flow into at least two partial flows
  • the horizontal partial flows Q h and vertical Q v will generally not have the same ratio as the total volume flows Q C and Q F .
  • the varying is supported Allocation by metrological recording of the load and adjustment of the type and size of the inlet openings of the settling tank to the current load. Fully or partially automatic adjustment, e.g. B. by utilizing flow forces or density differences, does not conflict with the invention.
  • a settling tank in which the supply of a multi-phase fluid with an inflow volume flow Q IN into the at least one at least temporary settling tank takes place through at least one inlet structure and through at least one variably designed inlet opening, with subsequent separation of the phases of different weights in each a return volume flow Q R and a flow volume flow Q C , characterized in that the inflow Q IN energetically optimized in or on the inlet structure to the settling tank and by changing the position of the inflow boundaries of at least an inlet opening to each other or by at least temporarily dividing it into at least two partial flows Q h and Q v the basin on a different path or through different sub-areas in different flow directions depending on the load situation, predominantly at least largely in the direction of two to four o'clock at high load and predominantly at least largely in direction four to eleven o'clock at low load.
  • An advantageous design of a basin results when the inlet opening of the inlet structure of the basin is defined by two height-variable borders, which are designed in such a way that at least one border can be guided over and also below the level of the other border.
  • this is e.g. B. given when the inlet opening is defined by a vertically telescoping cylinder and a vertically displaceable ring plate and the inner diameter of the cylinder is larger than the outer diameter of the ring plate.
  • the two components form the boundary of a vertically oriented inlet opening of variable size, which consequently flows through as horizontally as possible and at the same time can be optimized in terms of energy to the current load. If the lower edge of the cylinder is arranged below the point of the upper edge of the ring plate, the two components form the boundary of a horizontally oriented inlet opening of variable size, which consequently has a predominantly vertical flow and is also energetically optimized.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of a basin results when the inlet opening of the inlet structure is defined by two height-variable boundaries, with the lower flow boundary being designed at least in two parts.
  • the two parts of the lower flow boundary are at different points, so that a second flowable surface opens up between the two parts, which conveys the partial volume flow Q V flowing through them, predominantly vertically in the direction of five to nine o'clock or even counter to the main flow direction in until around eleven o'clock.
  • An advantageous embodiment of a round or even a rectangular basin results when the variably designed inlet opening is arranged peripherally on the basin.
  • the jet interference from areas of higher density which is positive for the floc filter effect, can be promoted by using a flow deflector above the inlet to ensure that interference in the inflowing suspension flow can only be supplied with suspension of higher density from the lower area of the settling tank.
  • Figure 1 shows a low load situation in which the wall 4 extends all the way down and has its lower edge lowered below the level of the device 5a.
  • the wall 4 can travel over the edge of the device 5a downwards by at least the same amount as the horizontal distance between the outer edge of the device 5a and the inner edge of the wall 4 measures. This creates an opening 3b which is inclined inwards at least at an angle of 45° to the horizontal.
  • the separating mirror 10 is low in accordance with the low load.
  • the lower edge of the wall 4 and the outer edge of the device 5a form an inlet opening 3b through which flow occurs essentially obliquely, vertically or inward.
  • FIG 1b a situation with a medium load is shown.
  • the separating level 10 has risen slightly, the wall 4 has shortened so that the point whose lower edge is now above the point of the device 5a.
  • the lower edge of the wall 4 and the outer edge of the device 5a form an inlet opening through which the flow essentially passes horizontally.
  • This horizontal orientation of the flow at the inlet opening is supported by the deflection deflector 4a in the lower area of wall 4, which at high loads prevents the vertical flow along wall 4 and directs it horizontally inwards. As a result, the flow is subsequently directed horizontally outwards at the device 5a.
  • FIG. 1c a high-load situation is shown.
  • the dividing mirror 10 has risen far up.
  • the wall 4 is now shortened even more, the device 5a was now also moved up a bit.
  • wall 4 and device 5a, also supported by deflection deflector 4a, still according to the invention form an inlet opening through which the flow is essentially horizontal for high loads, but now in energetic optimization due to the increased height difference of the nodes of the flow boundaries at higher inflow Q IN with increased inlet expansion h opt .
  • FIG. 2a to 2c shows an inlet structure 2 defined by the boundaries 4 and 5b with an inlet opening 3a and/or 3b, which, depending on the load and thus depending on the adjusted height of its wall 4, whose height can be changed, and its device 5b, whose height can also be changed, either as an Inlet opening 3a through which flow is essentially horizontal ( Figures 2b and 2c ) or as an inlet opening 3b ( Figures 2a and 2b ) results.
  • the multi-part lower deflection 5b which is an example of plate P with parts P1 and P2 , leads via the inlet openings 3b ( Figure 2a ) the volume flow Q I vertical, via 3a and 3b ( Figure 2b )simultaneously the volume flows Q I vertical and Q II horizontal and in Figure 2c via 3a the flow rate Q II horizontally.
  • an inlet structure 2 with a multi-part lower deflection with additional flow deflection 5c is shown.
  • Figure 3a 5c directs the volume flow backwards in the direction of 9 - 11 o'clock, while in Figure 3b the volumetric flow flows largely horizontally to the front.
  • FIGs 5a and 5b is an inlet structure 2 with one-piece lower deflection 5a and an additional flow guide plate 6 with an adjustable angle.
  • Figure 5a 6 directs the volume flow in the vertical direction, while in Figure 5b the volumetric flow flows largely horizontally to the front.
  • Figures 6a and 6b show that the same features according to the invention in peripheral execution ( Figure 6a ) as well as in the central version ( Figure 6b ) possible are.
  • FIG. 7 , 8th and 9 illustrate once again in schematic cross-sections through different settling tank geometries that the features according to the invention are not dependent on the tank geometry and apply as an example to a central design for a round settling tank ( 7 and 8 ) as well as in peripheral execution for round ( Figures 9a and 9b ) and rectangular settling tanks are possible ( Figures 9c and 9d ) .
